Holiday Memories/Get real

Kit and Sebi discovering that strawberries don't grow in the supermarket!!
We stopped at the Strawberry Farm on our way back from a weekend in Noosa, because the boys didn't understand what "pick your own strawberries" meant!!
REALLY it was a great day.

Gettin' Real

OK, so here we are....time for my weekly dose of honesty.

Had Kit's IEP meeting and I hated every second of it...I'm REALLY not into in depth scrutiny of my son's shortcomings. Plus, his major area of "needs work" is NOT my strong point. AT ALL. So, fun and games coming this way soon....BLEEEAUGH.

Sebi has an appointment at the neuro-sciences clinic on Monday. Did I mention my REALLY deep aversion to hospitals??? Thought so. GROSS.

I'm working and hating it. Every second. I spend my shifts scanning the road for the direction of the next attack. REALLY SUCKISH!!

Ok, now the goodies.

Steffy brought me donuts XOXOXOXOX

Finally got to use the massage voucher I got for my last birthday, and it was FABULOUS....Mary, Rach and Steffy, you guys rock!!!

I haven't resigned from work, and I won't....I won't.....I WON'T !!!!

My kids rock. IEP's, Neuroscience Clinic, bad days, worse nights. I DON'T CARE!!!
They are worth it....every second of every minute of every day of my life.

Enabler Attack....

I'm gonna regret this later, but what can you do when your best goddaughter arrives bearing manna from heaven???
Sing halleluiah and dig in, already!!

A few of my favourite things....

The stongbow cider chair tree....I seriously LOVE this thing....Bruce had to stop me going and collecting all the wooden chairs from the curbside cleanup, 'cos I was going to build one of my own. I've already rung the city council asking if I can have one of their cast off posters when the buses have finished with them.

My new fave toy...I may never leave the house again. My kids had to physically drag me from my scraproom at bedtime last night. It's quick, quiet, obedient and good to look at...what more could you want??

Apart from these, of course. OK, Monday has reached maximun potential.
Have a good one!!

At the right moment...

Found this on Lusi Austin's Blog...she's heading the Get Real Deal, that I'm working through.

PROVERBS 31: 8-9 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

And there it is....OK, so people don't like the job I'm doing. So I don't even like it so much right now. Does that make it any less important?? All my kids have the right to feel protected and if I have to take some mouth in order to provide that, then so be it. Bring it...Both Barrels. I will be on the crossing, and I will take what's dished, and I will get over it and come back and do it again. And again. For as long as it takes. And that's a promise.
